The Netherlands officially confirms 23 uncontrolled flights with military cargos of great quantities of weapons and ammunition from the United States via Holland to Israel during the last two months. This according to the 'very underreported' gov't answers given to MP Farah Karimi.

On August 9th, 2005, the Atlanta 11th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the unjust convictions imposed on Five Cubans. Arrested in 1998, these men were monitoring terrorist groups in Miami. Although the five were fighting terrorism, the same administration that has launched the so-called “war on terrorism” has kept them imprisoned. These courageous men are not criminals; they were only defending their country from terrorist acts. Groups operating out of Southern Florida have caused the death of more than 3500 Cubans. The U.S. government has not just turned a blind eye to these terrorist groups but has supported, trained, sponsored and financed them from the failed Bay of Pigs invasion to the Bush Administration. Why is it that while the Five are languishing in US prisons, these terrorists walk the streets of Miami free? One year has passed since the reversal of their convictions, but they are still imprisoned. The world demands justice for the Cuban Five. It is time for them to go home.

On Tuesday, Israeli warplanes struck the southern Lebanese town of Ghaziyeh, killing at least 14 people. Missiles demolished civilian homes just as some 1,500 mourners were participating in a procession to bury 15 of their relatives and neighbors slain just the day before. The explosions sent the crowd running in panic, dropping shrouded corpses in the street.

The protesters, organized by the International Socialist Organzation, the Workers International League, Working Class Emancipation, and independent activists, clearly scored a minor victory by demoralizing the racists and discouraging them from returning. But as this writer emphasized in a speech at the protest, only the massive, independent action of the working class can decisively defeat the racist vigilante groups like the Klan, the Minutemen, and the Paul Revere riders and, most importantly, overthrow the capitalist state apparatus that stimulates and defends them.

No democracy or religion is going to vote in rights inferior
to the supreme nazi zionist enemy. A "Jewish State" is a
State where all GODLY people are treated equally with respect
and honor. As according to Hillel. That is not the practiced
tyrannies of the zionist Israeli liar, therefore Israel is not
a Jewish State. John has spoken in our own image, while
Israel continues to victimize the innocent unjustly.

An oil slick has been released onto the Medditaranean Sea when Israel bombed of a power station on teh lebanese coast. It now covers 120km (75 miles) of the region's coasts. Experts warn the spill could pose a cancer risk to people living in the affected areas, and will take up to 10 years to remove.
